Creating a solution from a template

You can create a solution that is based on a solution template to quickly design a new solution. The template provides a basic design for your solution, and you can customize the new solution later in Case Builder. Your administrator determines the templates that are available in an object store.

About this task

The new solution is created in the same object store as the template, and you can select the project area to which to assign the solution.

When you create a solution from a template, you can select an option to use existing unique identifiers. The default setting is the option that is set in the template.
Important: In most templates, the default behavior is to create new unique identifiers when a solution is created from the template. Do not change the option that was set in the template unless you have a specific business reason to override the default setting. If you select Include existing unique identifiers, you cannot deploy more than one solution that is based on this template to the same target object store.
Restriction: You cannot create a solution from a template that has files that are checked out.
